SALT LAKE CITY, August 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Health Catalyst, Inc. (“Health Catalyst,” Nasdaq: HCAT), a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Vitalware, LLC, a Yakima, Washington-based provider of revenue workflow optimization and analytics SaaS technology solutions to healthcare organizations.

Vitalware’s flagship offering is a Best in KLAS chargemaster management solution that delivers results for the complex regulatory and compliance functions needed by all healthcare provider systems. Additionally, Vitalware brings to bear newer product suites in Revenue Integrity, to help health systems capture lost revenue, and Price Transparency, to support compliance with expanding pricing transparency regulation. Importantly, Vitalware offers Health Catalyst a strategic anchor technology in the revenue space, expanding its CFO offering and value proposition. Vitalware’s solutions support all major EMRs and act as a key integration point for health systems with multiple EMRs.

Health Catalyst CEO Dan Burton said, “We are excited to welcome the Vitalware team to support our shared mission to be the catalyst for massive, measurable improvements. In addition to adding a best in KLAS technology solution from Vitalware, this acquisition is another powerful example of Health Catalyst’s ability to integrate and scale software on top of our DOS™ platform. Ultimately, DOS, our cloud-based data platform, will further enhance the analytics insights made available by Vitalware’s technology by integrating charge and revenue data with claims, cost, and quality data.”

“Vitalware, since inception, has been about delivering solutions that provide critical insights and better financial outcomes to health systems,” said Vitalware CEO and Co-founder, Kerry Martin. “We have a great team committed to our clients and their success, and adding the expertise and solutions from the Health Catalyst team will allow Vitalware to deliver even more innovative solutions. Our number one priority continues to be to create positive outcomes for our clients, and we’re confident the combination of our resources with Health Catalyst will only accelerate that effort.”

Health Catalyst expects to fund the transaction using a mix of stock and cash. The parties expect the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2020. Further details regarding the acquisition will be reported on a Form 8-K filing that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
